This sem marks the first time that i am officially volunteering at rsp block E. So far, i had only attended a few sessions with the boys and i have yet to know them well. However, my experience at these few sessions had allowed me to take a peek at how life is like for them in the boys' home.
Last week session was held after the chinese new year week, and to be frank i was still in a holiday mood. As usual, i met up with the fellow rsp block E volunteers to make our way to the boys' home. We started off the session by playing some memory games, one of which is the pluck feather game. Ok.. even though we didn't get to pluck real feathers from the chicken, the game is quite fun, especially when the people that lost had to do forfeit. We got the boys to dance to the song "nobody", and to my surprise, they were very enthusiastic about it and they danced pretty well for a girly song!
Next game was charade. The boys and us were split into two teams and they had to pass down the actions so that the person at the last can guess the word or phrase. Apparently the boys got too excited about it and everything became a bit messy. But still, it's nice to see the boys enjoying themselves at the sessions, which is probably one of the few times when they can do so at their stay in the home.
Time always passes very fast when we are enjoying ourselves. Though I only had a few hours to interact with the boys each time, I hoped that i would be able to get to know them better, bit by bit. As such, I would be looking forward to the coming sessions for the rest of my stay as a volunteer at rsp block E.
